About Hazel

Hazel is a 7-year-old Doodle mix hailing from Knoxville, TN. This total sweetheart truly adores people. Initially, she may come off as shy, but once Hazel warms up to you, she becomes a devoted "velcro dog" who loves to stay close to her favorite humans. Smart and treat-motivated, she learns quickly, making training a breeze. Hazel gets along well with other dogs, although she can be protective of her food, letting others know vocally if she feels they are encroaching on her meal. Due to some separation anxiety, she thrives best in a home where someone is present most of the time or in a family ready to help her practice feeling safe and relaxed when left alone. Currently, she is undergoing treatment for heartworm disease, which requires short-term exercise restrictions. Hazel has medications to keep her calm and comfy during this process. Just a little kitchen-proofing will go a long way with her sneaky side—left unmonitored, she might try to counter-surf or open loosely latched containers. Hazel is currently available for adoption with no fee. Your new best friend is just one click away.
